9:00 AM – Armor inspection

1:00 PM – Bandits in the Woods. A lone Templar, separated from his troop, runs afoul of three deserters. A running battle ensues as he tries to make his way back to the safety of his companions. If the single fighter manages to reach his team, the fight goes from 3 on 1 to 5 on however many bandits are left.

2:00 PM – Treasure of the Templars. Betrayal! The King and the Pope have declared the Templars heretics! It is up to our heroes to save what they can of the Templars’ riches.
